As with all of Verdant’s Shu puerh, this one had a surprisingly clean scent that reassured me of its quality. Obviously it still had a certain mustiness, but it is a generally pleasant smelling brick. Nothing fishy, nothing dirty, nothing nasty. Just a reassuring, “old” smell.
I had this down in London and wasn’t really using optimal water, so I won’t review in too much detail for now, but it was definitely a flavoursome puerh with a lovely, deep coloured liquor (what else was I expecting? hahaha). I’ll bring it back home with me when I go down next weekend and do a proper tasting session in the near-future :D
